Thai mixed doubles duo finish runners-up in Singapore
Dechapol Puavaranukroh and Sapsiree Taerattanachai had to be content with the runner-up position after they went down to world No 2 Lu Kai and Huang Yaqiong of China 21-19 16-21 11-21 in the mixed doubles final of the OUE Singapore Open on Sunday.
The Thai duo, in their first Super Series final, came up with some superb play against the All England Open champions as they dominated the first game from start to finish.
But Lu and Huang finally found their momentum to take charge at the end of game two and went on to take the deciding game easily. The Chinese won three out of four tournaments they have entered this year.
The Thai pair settled as finalists twice this year including the Thailand masters in February. They won their maiden title together in March at the Swiss Open.
